Over the years, we have built a lot of WooCommerce websites but never paid attention to the simplification of the checkout process. Just recently, we had a rude awakening, when one of our clients said that the checkout process was tedious because of the numerous forms to be filled. This has prompted this very crucial tutorial on how to create the simplest one-page WooCommerce checkout page.

We all know how important user experience is, and how it can either have you retain or lose your customers. Well, we are not in the business of having you lose customers, so, let’s dive straight into this.

Setting default shipping to customer billing address

On the checkout page, WooCommerce may require you to choose if you want to use your billing address as the shipping address or not. In case your billing address is different from shipping address, then this may be good for you.

Hopefully, this tutorial helps you to create the simplest one-page WooCommerce checkout page. This will not only impress your customers but also retain them.
